Ingredients

• 4 pieces spicy Italian sausage links
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large (sliced) red bell pepper
• 1 large (sliced) green bell pepper
• 1 large (sliced) yellow onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 4 pieces hoagie rolls
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 1 cup marinara sauce (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Place the Italian sausage links in the skillet and cook them for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the sausages and set them aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 5

Slice the cooked sausage links in half lengthwise and return them to the skillet. Toss the sausage with the sautéed peppers and onions to combine.

Step 6

If using marinara sauce, warm it in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave it until heated through.

Step 7

To assemble the sandwiches, slice the hoagie rolls in half and, if desired, lightly toast them under a broiler or on a griddle.

Step 8

Place the sausage halves on the bottom half of each hoagie roll. Top with a generous portion of the pepper and onion mixture and a slice of provolone cheese.

Step 9

If using marinara sauce, spoon a little over the cheese before placing the top half of the roll onto the sandwich.

Step 10

Serve the hot sausage sandwiches immediately, optionally with a side of chips or a fresh salad.
